4. Conclusion: The Scientific Legacy of the 20 th Century
Here is the Legacy: Our father is not chaos. We are the children of a formidable,
Rigorous Logic which is valid from the smallest structures of the Subnuclear World to
the borders of the Universe.
The whole of our knowledge is proof of it, as shown in Figure 19. In fact,
if we were the children of chaos, the contents of this Figure would not exist.
If a fellow could deduce the content of Figure 19 from chaos, the Legacy
quoted above would be in trouble. This fellow does not exist.
